Nancy, Licensed Massage Therapist

Hello there, my name is Nancy Anderson. I have lived in Bismarck most of my life and really do love it here. As for hobbies, I enjoy running, anything from a 5k to half marathon. I love camping, fishing, anything to be outside.

I followed my dream of being a massage therapist later in life, receiving my license in 2019. My hope is to encourage others to never give up on a dream, no matter how old you are. I love helping people relax and unwind from the stress of everyday life. Massage helps to relieve muscle tension and pain, reduce stress and anxiety, and promote sleep (and who doesn’t need that!) I specialize in hot stone and cupping.


Massage Therapy Services

 

Prenatal massage

Massage therapy performed during pregnancy can reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, and improve labor outcomes and newborn health. Prenatal massage aims to relax muscle tension and improve lymphatic and blood circulation through mild pressure applied to the muscle groups of the body.

Deep tissue

This type of massage is intended to relieve pain and muscle tension throughout the body by massaging the deepest layer of muscle and fascia. The method behind this is to breakdown adhesions in the muscle. Adhesions are tense areas that cause pain, inflammation and limited range of motion.

Essential oil infused

Essential oils are organic compounds extracted from plants with tremendous healing properties. Using essential oils for healing purposes is often called aromatherapy to improve physical, mental and emotional health. Young Living Oils are used.

Hot stone

Hot stones placed on key points of the body to relax the muscles for a more healing experience. Hot Stone massage eases muscle stiffness, expands blood vessels for proper blood flow, releases tension, and relieves chronic pain.

Cupping

This technique is to promote health and healing by: loosening soft tissue and connective tissue, scarring and adhesions moving stagnation and increasing lymphatic flow and circulation. This therapy utilizes silicone or plastic cups and a vacuum pistol to create suction on the body surface. These cups are moved over the skin using gliding, shaking, popping and rotating techniques.
